Nubius said:Depending on your case, using a dremel to cut out a window would be a LOT harder than you think. With my TT case even the toughest cutting blades in there can't exactly cut through it with ease. A jigswa would be much faster although a LOT louder and because of the up and down motion of the blade can sometimes warp the metal up top lol....but it's fairly easy to straighten out.
As far as soldering goes, a 25w iron will do just fine. Especially if you are new to soldering you don't want 40w because it'll get too hot too quickly and you'll wind up burning your board

That's why I said no more than 40watt......
I've done it with a 80watt....dang does taht thing get hot too....just don't hold it on there too long....
